BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. – A lovers’ dispute over a cell phone ended suddenly when the woman swallowed the phone, police said.
Police said they received a call at 4:52 a.m. Friday from a Blue Springs, Mo., man who said his girlfriend was having trouble breathing. When they arrived at the house, they found that the 24-year-old woman had a cell phone lodged in her throat.
“He wanted the phone, and she wouldn’t give it to him, so she attempted to swallow it,” said detective Sgt. Steve Decker of the Blue Springs Police Department. “She just put the entire phone in her mouth so he couldn’t get it.”
The woman was transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center in Blue Springs. A hospital spokeswoman said she couldn’t give details about the woman’s health.
